This spring, Herron School of Art and Design will present “60 wrd/min art critic,” an ongoing performance project by Chicago Tribune columnist Lori Waxman, providing Indiana artists the opportunity to submit their artwork for critical review.
Since 2005, Waxman’s internationally acclaimed performance has resulted in more than 700 written reviews for artists in underserved and underrepresented arts communities across the United States and Europe. 60 wrd/min art critic also reveals the art critique process in real-time as artist, artwork, critic, and review all exist in the same space.
During the three-day presentation at Herron, Waxman will review artwork by 30 artists of all ages, skill levels and artistic disciplines by appointment only. Reviews are free of charge and will be scheduled and written in twenty-five-minute increments in Waxman’s pop-up office from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 30, and Wednesday, May 1, and from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 2.
Artists may request an appointment at any time by emailing critic@60wordmin.org, stating date and time preferences. Waxman’s reviews will be posted in Eskenazi Hall during the performance and published online by NUVO in the following weeks. Learn more at herron.iupui.edu/lori-waxman.
60 wrd/min art critic is a project of the Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program. This performance is made possible by the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
